Late Conversion After Sac Anchoring Endoprosthesis for Secondary Aortic Aneurysm Infection
Conclusion: The need to explant a Nellix EVAS System due to graft infection is a straightforward procedure compared to the removal of a conventional endograft with suprarenal fixation. It requires only temporary suprarenal clamping. The devices can be easily removed due to the lack of penetrating components and without damage to the aortic segment needed to create an anastomosis.

Aortic Dehiscence During Endovascular Sealing for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusion: Endovascular sealing can be used in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Intraoperative endobag saline prefill should be avoided to minimize the risk of aortic wall disruption. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Prognostic Significance of the Renal Resistive Index After Renal Artery Revascularization in the Context of Flash Pulmonary Edema
Conclusion: After renal artery revascularization for flash pulmonary edema, a high intrarenal Ri is independently associated with all-cause mortality. Determination of the intrarenal Ri after this procedure may be useful for identifying at-risk patients. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Meta-analysis of the Effect of Stent Design on 30-Day Outcome After Carotid Artery Stenting
Conclusion: This meta-analysis showed that 30-day cerebrovascular complications after CAS were not significantly different for the open-cell group in comparison to the closed-cell group. Future prospective clinical trials comparing different free cell areas and other stent design properties are still needed to further investigate whether stent design plays a significant role in the results of carotid stenting.

Early Experience With a Novel Hybrid Vascular Graft for Hemodialysis Access Creation in Patients With Disadvantaged Anatomy
Conclusion: The Hybrid graft offers a safe, technically effective alternative for patients with disadvantaged anatomy requiring hemodialysis access and has comparable outcomes to standard PTFE grafts. Further clinical experience and long-term data are required for determining the proper utility of this device in chronic dialysis-dependent patients. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Effects of Anesthesia Type on Perioperative Outcome After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Conclusion: Type of anesthesia used during EVAR has no influence on perioperative mortality and morbidity. The use of local or regional anesthesia during EVAR appeared to be beneficial concerning procedure time, ICU admission, and postoperative hospital stay. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Through-Plane Movement at Multiple Aortic Levels on Dynamic Computed Tomography Angiography Is Limited in Patients With an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Conclusion: This study quantifies aortic through-plane motion in the craniocaudal direction. Since through-plane movement appears to be limited, findings of previous studies investigating pulsatile in-plane distension seem to be representative for aortic distension.

Suitability of the Zenith p-Branch Standard Fenestrated Endovascular Graft for Treatment of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusion: Approximately half of patients with short neck rAAAs would be suitable for the Zenith p-branch fenestrated device according to the instructions for use. In almost 60%, the pivot fenestrations can accommodate the corresponding target vessels. More studies are needed to confirm these findings. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Fate of Aneurysmal Common Iliac Artery Landing Zones Used for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Conclusion: Aneurysmal CIA LZs used during EVAR experience greater dilatation compared with normal LZs, but no significant difference in outcome was noted in midterm follow-up. However, an increased incidence of graft limb complications or endograft-related reintervention may be encountered. Use of aCIA LZs appears to be safe; however, greater patient numbers and longer follow-up are needed to understand the clinical implications of morphologic changes in these vessels when used during EVAR.

Late Rupture of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm After Previous Endovascular Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion: Graft-related endoleaks appear to be the predominant causes of late aneurysm rupture. Quality of and compliance with post-EVAR surveillance are important factors in late rupture; a large proportion of late ruptures are amenable to endovascular treatment.

Drug-Eluting Balloon Therapy for Femoropopliteal Occlusive Disease: Predictors of Outcome With a Special Emphasis on Calcium
Conclusion: Severity of lesion calcification is associated with LLL after treatment with DEB. One possible approach to overcome this limitation might be plaque modification or removal prior to DEB usage. Nevertheless, clinical data that support this hypothesis are currently lacking.
